TEMPERANCE READING.
THE FORGOTTEN"

The poor old steed at the innkeepers door
Stands with weary, snow buried feet,
While the wind whistles past merciless
blast,
Frost-laden, keen. searching and fleet
With warm inner light glows the easement
broad,
As if snaming the moonbeams cold;
But the shadows that pass DER the soft-cur-
tanned glass
Shame the light with the tale they unfold.
See that profile. clear on the curtain thrown
By the pltiless pencils of light;
Is it visage of man on the Deitys plan,
And formed in his visage uprightH
Or is it something, all cruelty marred
BY evils disiguring lines?
the chiselinc rude of appettes lewd,
Where reason to passion resigns:
The figure that lowered is dropping and
bowed;
The face that was manly is weakened and
blear;
And the glance of command, and the strong,
steady hand
Eafeebled, are symbols of frailty and fear.
"Forgotten?' All! yes the dumb friend at the
door
Meellly waits in the cold and the night.
Nor stands he alone! For round the door
stone
Forgotten ones crowd on the sight:
Inere an innocent chllunoou, DrlgnJ lIIle

From out of the shadows arise!
Wave thy clear, flaming torch to shrivel and

Films of evil from memory's eyes,
There's youth, in which promise was glowing
and fair.
Forgotten one, stand in thy place!
Early manhood, 0 proud and nobly endowed,
Let memory gaze on thy face!
Buoyant hopes of the years all vanished and
gone,
Forgotten hopes, rise from the dust.
Ambition, long dead, high resolves, early fed
Iron will, lofty aims, steady trust,
We are all, all forgotten. But swarming to
night,

SERVlAN MURDERERS,
They Confess to Having Destroyed the
Lives of Sixty Persons.

Much sensation has been caused BY
the detection in Servia of an organized
band of murderers. The discovery was
made under remarkable circumstances.
About fortnight ago Russian carpet
merchant named Abramovics arrived
at Prot to make his annual purchases.
He took up his quarters at one of the
large inns of the town. Toward ten
o'clock, while he was making merry
with party of friends, two gendarmes
called at the inn and requested
Abramovics to follow them to the Pre-
lecture, Although Abramovics ex-
hibited his passport in proper order,
he was taken by the gendarmes to the
police station. When he arrived there
he was shown q warrant of arrest is
sued against him charging him with
spying. He was told that he would
have to be taken to the Bulgarian
frontier, and that his effects had been
sent on before him. He was put into
a one-horse conveyance, but instead of
being driven to the Bulgarian frontier
he was taken to the intrenchments,
murdered, and robbed of one thousand
five hundred napoleons. On the fol-
lowing morning some peasants found
his body. Information was given to
the Deputy Project, who forthwith sent
troops to arrest the Lieutenant of gend-
armerie and all his men. The
prisoners are said to have confessed
that during the last two years sixty
people have been murdered in the
same way. Twenty-Five gold watches
and a large number of rings and
lockets were found at their houses.
Two correspondents of French news
papers who were at Prot during the
war are supposed to be among their
victims. 1t is believed that ring be-
longing to one of them has been found.
and wax impression of it has been
sent to France. One of Prince Alex
ander's grooms, on his way back to
Germany, was murdered by the same
band. A telegram from Semlin states
that the Lieutenant of gendarmerie UNI
der arrest charges the Deputy Project
of Prot with complicity in the crimes.
He has likewise been taken into custody
and is reported to have confessed, al
leging that in the case of Abramovics
and of another murder he acted on
superior orders, 1t would appear
from the accounts received up to the
present thatin several instances politi-
cal motives were at the bottom of the
crimes. An official commission of in
vestigation has been dispatched from
Belgrade to Pirot. - Glasgow Mail.

TRAVELLING ABROAD.
The Wagon-lit of Europe and the Pull
man Car of America.

The Wagon-lit of Europe and the Pull
man Car of America.
The wagon-lit is French substitute
for Pullman sleeping-car. 1t has its adj
vantages and its disadvantages. The
"Orient express of the grandest
vitesse known in France, at least SO far
as our experience goes, Of thirty-eight
miles an hour, coming through from
Constantinople to Paris in two days
and two nights picked us up at Cos, to
which station we came over a branch
road from Baden Baden in fifteen
minutes. This express train was made
up entirely Of nail and baggage-car,
three wagOn-lits carrying twenty-four
passengers each, and dining car. On
one side of the wagon-lit there is u mar
row alley, with doors opening into com
partments, some of which are devoted
to four passengers and others to two.
In the daytime these are seen to contain
in the first case two narrow, athwart-
ship sofas, in the latter one. At night
the cushion, serving by day for back
rest, is triced up and converted into
bed. The whole affair has the
appearance of an oyster-saloon's pri-
vate compartments. Seclusion and
comfort are attained at a great sacri-
fee of space. Two persons occupy the
whole width of the carriage and one
third more of its length than four per-
sons occupy in Pullman car. At the
same time the beds are much more mar
row. l should think that corpulent
people would partly hang over the
sides, and that strip of them would
pass an uncomfortable night. On the
other hand, there is better air, because
of the windows in each compartment,
than in the Pullman, and there is
greater privacy. 1t is astonishing how
the conventionalities are dispensed
with in American sleeping-cars; how
gentlemen who elsewhere would not
take off their coats in the presence of
ladies, and how ladies who regard
every article of their outward makeup
as an essential part of themselves in
parlor or in the street, do not hesitate
to reduce their apparel to minimum
when they are about to turn in.
Travelling in Germany and France,
excepting in third class cars, which,
sooth to say, are about equal to many
we call iirst-class ut home, as mnch
more expensive than with us. In this
"Orient express we paid about SIG
each for distance of about $50 miles
from Baden-Baden Co Paris The high
charges are mainly due to the extra
room that passengers occupy. As to
the dining-rOom car, the meals are bad
and expensive, and the service filthy

RESTORING BREATH.
A Discovery That Will 10 of Great Use t,
the scientific World.

"A
the scientific World.
A miraculous surgical experiment
has been performed at Buffalo by DR..
George E. Fell, professor of physiology
at the University of Niagara DR.. Fell
is an enthusiastic vivisectionist, and
has made a number of experiments
whereby he claims he has discovered a
means of saving human life after the
patient has taken poison. Several
weeks ago man named Patrick Burns,
who had been on debauch, took a
large dose of morphia, and was given
up as dead. After Burns had been
unconscious for five hours, Dr. Fell was
called in. 1t had occurred to him that
if he had an artificial respiratory appar-
atus he would be able to bring back the
patient to life. He had often applied
artificial respiration to dogs and cats
at college during his lectures, to show
the action Of their hearts and lungs.
Burns was u poor patient, and the
physician had very little hope of being
successful. There was no pulse, and
only slight ilutter around the region
of the heart, which showed that it had
not ceased to beat. There were num-
Der of physicians present, and the
experiment was considered chimerica
one as far as success was concerned
An incision was made in the throat, and
respiratory tube was placed in the
trachea. The blood which oozed from
the wound was dark coffee color.
The lungs of the patient were useless,
and when air was blown into them they
were so stiff that they could not con-
tract. Artificial means were used, press
ure on the chest to eXpel the air and
cause the eXpirations. This was kept
up for fifteen minutes before any
change was noticed. The blood soon
became more arterial in color as il
came from the wound, and the face
assumed life-like expression. The
muscles of the eyes twitched when
pressed by the finger. After a time the
eyes opened, and the legs and arms
began to move Water was placed t.
the patieut 5 lips and he drank greedily.
For two hours the artificial breathing
was kept up. The tube was removed
and the wound was closed with antisep
tic dressing. The patient, an houl
after breathing was restored, had al
attack of delirium tremens, the result
of drinking. 1t took five men to hol(
him, and the wound commenced tC
bleed afresh. This was stopped, anC
when the poison passed from the system
after three days the respiration in
creased, and it was evident that the
patient would recover. In two weeks
he was able to 90 out and attend to hi
business. DR.. Fell used very crude
apparatus which he employs in vivi
section. He is now perfecting an in
strument which can be used by al
operator in such cases as the one de
scribed. The discovery is valuabl,
one, and will be of great use to thu
scientific world. -Demorest'S Monthly

BLOOD-SUCkERS,
The Saloon Business as Well as Moral
Curse to the COMMUNICATE Evil Tree,
the Fruits of Which Are Only Evil.

The Saloon Business as Well as a Moral
Curse to the COMMUNICATE Evil Tree,
the Fruits of Which Are Only Evil.
The leech is only valuable in medical
practice because of his peculiar excel
lence as a blood-sucker When any
part of the body is suffering from en-
gorgemenr, and leech is applied, the
disgusting little animal fastens himself
firmly to the flesh and sucks until he is
filled with blood. There is striking
similarity between the leech and the
saloon. Both are unexcelled blood
suckers. The one depletes the circu-
lation in the body, the other the mon
etary circulation. The only particu-
lar difference is, that the leech drops
off when he is filled with blood, but
the saloon does not. Let it get its
clutches upon man, and it never lets
20 its hold until the man is dead or is
beggarcd.
AS the leech depletes the circulation
of the patient, so does the saloon de-
plete the amount of money in circula-
ton in community. 1t is not only a
moral curse to the city, or town OF
hamlet in which it established, but it is
a business curse. 1t decreases the to-
tai amount of money in circulation,
reduces the business done by every es-
Enlistment engaged in legitimate
trade, and draws the money from that
locality, making the total amount in
circulation therein much less. Look
at it a moment, What part of the
money which is paid in over the
bar goes out again into circulation
in the town? Just enough to sup
port the saloonist and his family.
The remainder, less the saloonist's net
profit, goes to the distillers and brew
ers. Beyond the small proportion OF
the total income, which goes for his
support, not dollar of 1t goes into

be paid out for brick and stone, fol-
lumber, for carpenters, masons, plast.

Whisky Arithmetic.

How many drinks of whisky do
you average day?" said one gentle
man TO another as they were enjoying
a social glass at well-known resort
on Vine street yesterday afternoon.
80, taking the year round, l pre-
sumo my average would be about ten
Il day."
"And how long has this been going
on?" was asked.
Straight along for twenty years, 1
guess; but it never hurt me any, and l
can tend to my patients Che is pro-
fessional man just as well as ever
could"
But how much whisky, taking your
own statement for it, do you suppose
you have drank during that timer"
I'm sure l don't know l never
thought about that"
"Well, let us take another nip, and
then figure on it, and they did, and
here is the result of their work:
Ten drinks day would be seventy
drinks week, or $500 drinks in a
| year. III twenty years that would
give the enormous number of ~, 500
drinks. Now, the average drink taken
in this country is said to be sixty to
gallon. Then divide this ~, 800 by
sixty, and you will find that you have
consumed 1,213 and a fraction gallons.
Now, there are supposed to be, on an
average, thirty-six gallons to barrel.
Divide 1918 by thirty-six and you find
that you have drank just about thirty
six barrels of the stuff. ="
The old topper looked at the figures
and then at his friend. and then re-.
marked: "Well, let's take one more,
and then, l think, I'll give my stomach

it has not increased the improvements
to the city, nor has it gone back into
the local channels of trade, beyond the
sum required for the support Of those
who sell the liquors. The greater por-
ton has gone to swell the purse of the
Rum Power, and the only thing 1t has
done for the community is to increase
the amount of poverty, woe5 wretched-
ness and vice.
1t is plain to any one who gives a
moments thought to the matter that
the saloons are veritable money-leeches.
They suck the money of the laboring
men to whom they give no equivalent,
take it out of the business of the COM
munity and send it away to the distil-
lers, leaving the town or city the poor
er by that amount-both in the ready
money and in the real values which
that money represents. This is not
the case with the men engaged in le-
ultimate business. For every dollar
the latter receive they give an equiv
alent in goods, or something else as
tangible. The men who have paid this
money hold in their hands property
equal to the amount which they have
paid out The business men put the
money they had received into circula-
ton again for the employment of
more labor and the production of
more goods to take the place of those
sold.

potent factor in what are known as
"hard times?" A leech which is never
filled, which is always sucking in
money out of the pockets of the
masses, must not its effect be finally
to aid in the scarcity of money and
the arrangement of the financial bal
ance? 1t certainly should be clear to
every one that this is the effect.
There are men who have so little
power of thought as to believe, in II
sort of helpless, childish way, that
the saloon lads business" They
suppose, apparently, because money
passes in the transaction, that it must,
necessarily, be business. There is
not the first element of real business
about it. Trade, or commerce., pre-
supposes the exchange of one COM
modify for another. Generally, one
of these is money. In every legiti-
mate transaction, both buyer and sell
Ter have practically equivalent values
in their hands after its completion.
The first one had sum of money, the
second one had an equivalent amount
of goods. They exchange, and the
second one has the money, the first
one has the goods
But in the case of the saloon, how is
it? The workingman pays over his
money; what has he to represent that
money rs he staggers home to his mis-
cradle family? Nothing, and worse than
nothing. He has only lost his money,
but he has degraded his manhood, in
jured his health, lost his self-respect
and respect and confidence of all decent
men. The exchange is abominably one
sided. 1t is entirely to the advantage
of the saloonist. He has the money, and
the drinker has lost not only it, but all
that makes life worth living along with
it.
There is no business" about the sa-
, loon. 1t is the establishment which
{ fosters idleness and debauchery.

its fruits are evil.-7oledo Blade.

HON SICKNESS.

This busy house is hushed in sleep!
I listen to the insects ''cheep,"
While leafy shadows slowly creep
Across the whitewashcd wall.
Alone 1 sit-creeping from bed
The Night crowns Day with grace, instead
OF burdened brain and busy tread,
And shrouds Sin in its fall.
The wind signs, murmur1ng mid the leaves
Faint, happy pulse that barely greves
Their balEly rest! Rain gently weaves
Its precious coronal.
Then, with conversions crowding fast,
My sleepless couch I seek at last.
The midnight hour is speeding past;
l list its faint football.
Swift, anxious thoughts, which Danish sleep
In nameless dread, their vigils keep.
o, We afar! Rest ye?-or wecpr
Regretful tears fast fall.

Dear human voices, and the whine
OF petted brutes, for thee pine
To see and hear thee all.
